When your life has been changed, you have confidence not of your own.
There is much more than God has for us.
Is each person’s desire
Paul laid hands on Timony. Grow bigger and not smaller.
There is a God that is so powerful.
There is supernatural power! Power to transform our lives!
There is something inside our hearts. Hunger and want the real God in our lives.
God saw us and picked us.
In the gospel is the righteousness of God revealed
Desire in your heart. No longer trying to convince ourselves.
Physical hunger makes people do crazy things.
Before anyone can become a general, they are as a soldier first.
ROMANS 8:28 TPT
So we are convinced that EVERY DETAIL of our LIVES is continually woven together to fit into God’s perfect plan of bringing GOOD into our lives,
for we are HIS LOVERS who have been CALLED to FULFILL his DESIGNED PURPOSE.
God has always good. Is to bring good into our lives.
Receiving Jesus is for us to have supernatural power to live this life. To fill the purpose God has.
We are His lovers who have been called to fulfil His designed purpose.
G2822 CALLED
Original: κλητός
Transliteration: KLĒTOS
Phonetic: klay-tos'
Thayer Definition:
CALLED , INVITED (to a banquet)
invited (by God in the proclamation of the Gospel)
to obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom through Christ
called to (the discharge of) some office
DIVINELY SELECTED and APPOINTED
Be addicted to preaching the gospel and saving souls. This is the most wonderful thing that God created.
Holy Spirit already inside you. It is whether you want to take the first step to speak.
You have all been called.
Is an honour God has divinely appointed and selected you.
What we have is the incorruptible crown.
We are separated by time and space yet we are not.
We are in the spirit.
Ministry is all about appointment.
God is the highest authority. Whatever He appoint He will anoint.
Consider your calling. It is such an honour and privilege.
ROMANS 8:29 TPT
For he knew all about us BEFORE we were born and he DESTINED us from the BEGINNING to SHARE the LIKENESS of HIS SON.
This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like him.
Share the likeness of His Son.
We were in the likeness of Adam. We were in sin.
We need to rightly divide the word of Truth
God in His love, He destined us.
God saw us and was not scare. He saw us in the most horrible of sin.
What happened to them is not God’s will.
We were horrible. But today we come into God’s family and we are beautiful.
ROMANS 8:30 TPT
Having determined our DESTINY ahead of time,
he CALLED us to HIMSELF and TRANSFERRED his perfect righteousness to everyone he called.
And those who POSSESS his perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS he CO-GLORIFIED with his SON!
He already determined our ending.
Don’t let anyone else determine our ending.
He is the One who determine the good ending for us.
The world gives us a bleak ending and we need to fight for it.
Determine by the world’s way.
Life’s Journey
After going through maze, some people cannot take the pressure of life and jump down.
There are people who ask for help. But those who think jump down is the end, they just jump.
Today who has the real solution to life?
The real solution is Jesus
In different areas of lives we have come to dead end.
ISAIAH 43:1-4 MSG
But now, God’s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, the One who got you started, Israel:
“Don’t be afraid, I’ve redeemed you. I’ve called your name.
You’re mine.
When you’re in over your head, I’ll be there with you.
When you’re in rough waters, you will not go down.
ISAIAH 43:1-4 MSG
When you’re between a rock and a hard place, IT WON’T BE A DEAD END —
BECAUSE I AM GOD, YOUR PERSONAL God, The Holy of Israel, YOUR SAVIOR.
I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!
That’s how much you mean to me! That’s how much I love you!
I’d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.
GENESIS 50:18 AMP
Then his brothers went and fell down before him [in confession];
then they said, “Behold, we are your servants (slaves).”
GENESIS 50:19-20 AMP
BUT JOSEPH SAID to them,
“Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? [Vengeance is His, not mine.]
As for you, you meant evil against me, BUT GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD in order to bring about this present outcome, that many people would be kept alive [as they are this day].
GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD
God has a very big plan and purpose.
You are called and invited.
You belong to God
Vengeance is Mine.
GENESIS 50:19-21 MSG
Joseph replied,
“Don’t be afraid.
Do I act for God?
Don’t you see, you planned evil against me but GOD USED THOSE SAME PLANS FOR MY GOOD,
as you see all around you right now—
LIFE for MANY PEOPLE.
Easy now, you have nothing to fear; I’ll take care of you and your children.” He reassured them, speaking with them heart-to-heart.
GOD USED THE SAME PLANS FOR MY GOOD.
When you serve Him you don’t have to worry at all.
If God has anointed and appointed you, you must know.
You are God’s son
He the servant of God is highly regarded and protected by God
Whoever touches the man of God touches the apple of His eyes.
God is for me and no one can be against me
2 SAMUEL 12:13-14 MSG
Then David confessed to Nathan, “I’ve sinned against God.”
Nathan pronounced, “Yes, but THAT’S NOT THE LAST WORD.
GOD FORGIVES YOUR SIN.
You won’t die for it.
But because of your blasphemous behavior, the son born to you will die.”
God intervened by His grace.
Everything will be ok in the end. If it is not ok, it is not the end.
If your life is messy today, He will un-mess it.
2 SAMUEL 12:19-20 MSG
David noticed that the servants were whispering behind his back, and realized that
the boy must have died.
He asked the servants, “Is the boy dead?”
“Yes,” they answered.
“He’s dead.”
David got up from the floor, washed his face and combed his hair, put on a fresh change of clothes, then went into the sanctuary and WORSHIPED.
Then he came home and asked for something to eat.
They set it before him and he ate.
WORSHIP is adoring God.
David was the best worshipper.
You cannot worship God out of the holy spirit
Real forgiveness is getting up and worship Him and serve Him
2 SAMUEL 12:21-23 MSG
His servants asked him, “What’s going on with you?
While the child was alive you fasted and wept and stayed up all night. Now that he’s dead,
you get up and eat.”
“While the child was alive,” he said,
“I fasted and wept, thinking God might have mercy on me and the child would live.
But now that he’s dead, why fast?
Can I bring him back now?
I can go to him, but he can’t come to me.”
2 SAMUEL 12:24-25 MSG
David went and comforted his WIFE BATHSHEBA.
And when he slept with her, THEY CONCEIVED a SON.
When he was born they named him SOLOMON.
God had a SPECIAL LOVE for him and sent word by Nathan the prophet that God wanted him named Jedidiah (GOD’S BELOVED).
God wants to display His grace.
Out of the biggest sin, David understood the heart of God
Go into the realm and serve the Lord.
2 TIMOTHY 4:1-2 TPT
Timothy, in the presence of our GREAT GOD and our Lord Jesus Christ, the One who is destined to judge both the living and the dead by the revelation of his kingdom—
I solemnly instruct you to PROCLAIM the WORD of GOD and STAND UPON IT NO MATTER WHAT!
Vengeance takes a lot of energy.
The power of God can remove the hatred
Whoever harm you, hurt you, put it into God’s account.
Jesus said you forgive the person in the account of Me
The heart is not meant to carry hurts of your past
God can turn your wasted years around for your good.
2 TIMOTHY 4:1-2 TPT
RISE to the occasion and PREACH when it is CONVENIENT and when it is NOT.
Preach in the FULL EXPRESSION of the HOLY SPIRIT —
with WISDOM and PATIENCE as you instruct and teach the people.
The holy spirit comes and hit you. Get rid of the self consciousness
2 TIMOTHY 4:3 TPT
For the time is coming when they will no longer listen and respond to the healing words of truth because they will become selfish and proud.
They will seek out teachers with soothing words that line up with their desires, saying just what they want to hear.
Carry in your heart the passion of your calling.
2 TIMOTHY 4:4-5 TPT
They will close their ears to the truth and believe nothing but fables and myths. So be alert to all these things and overcome every form of evil.
Carry in your HEART the PASSION of YOUR CALLING as a church planter and evangelist,
and FULFILL YOUR MINISTRY CALLING.
God will turn it around for our good. So that we can have good ending.
God says i will take care of you
2 TIMOTHY 4:6-8 MSG
You take over.
I’m about to die, my life an offering on God’s altar.
This is the ONLY RACE WORTH RUNNING.
I’ve run hard right to the FINISH, BELIEVED ALL THE WAY.
All that’s left now is the shouting—God’s applause!
Depend on it, he’s an honest judge. He’ll do right not only by me, but by EVERYONE EAGER for HIS COMING.
2 TIMOTHY 4:7 TPT
I HAVE FOUGHT an EXCELLENT FIGHT.
I HAVE FINISHED my FULL COURSE and I’VE KEPT my HEART FULL of FAITH.
There’s a CROWN of RIGHTEOUSNESS WAITING in HEAVEN for me, and I know that MY LORD will REWARD me on his day of righteous judgment.
And this CROWN is not only waiting for me, but for ALL who LOVE and LONG for HIS UNVEILING.
